SHAVlNG-MUG.

SPECIFICATION forming part ofLetters Patent No. 733,057, dated July '7, 1903.. Application filed February 14,1902. Serial No. 94,007- (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.

Beit known that LSETH H. LEAVENWORTH, a citizen of the United-States of America, and a resident of Cincinnati, in the county of l-Iamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shaving-Mugs, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is a shavingmug of the kind that has separate vessels for Water and forsoap, in which the soap vessel is provided with a member which acts both as a handle for the soap vessel when it is removed from the cup, as a means for stead ying the soap vessel while making a lather therein, and as a convenient support for the brush when not in use.

Referring to the drawings, which form part of this specification, Figure l is a side elevation of a shaving-mug embodying my invention, showing a brush held in the support in a vertical position. Fig. 2 is a similar view, but showing the brush tilted. Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the position of the soap vessel and brush support while. a lather is being made. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of the soap vessel. Fig. 5 is a detail plan view, upon an enlarged scale, of the brush-support.

Referring to the parts, which are indicated by similar reference-letterswh erever they ocour in the various views, cup A, with its handle a, is of ordinary construction. The soapholder consists of a shallow vessel B, which fits loosely within vessel A and has an annular flange 1) around its upper edge to rest upon the upper edge of vessel A. Flange b has two outwardly-projecting lugs 19 b which support a horizontal pin b upon which brushequal to the contracted part of the neck of the brush and is surrounded by a concave seat 0 of a larger diameter to seat the collar (Z of the brush-handle.

When the shaving-mug is not in use, support C occupies its horizontal position, as shown in Fig. 1, for retaining the brush.

NVhen the brush is wet or has lather upon it,

the holder may be placed in its tilted position to allow any liquid from it to drip into the soap vessel. A person while using the brush to form a lather may turn the soap-dish so that support C registers with handle a and insert his thumb in notch o to hold the dish from rotating, and when vessel B is removed from vessel A support C forms a convenient handle for vessel B.

What I claim is- A shaving-mug consisting of a cup, a soap vessel fitting in and movably supported by the upper edge of the cup and a brush-holder having a notch in it for the brush and being horizontally pivoted to the upper edge of the soap vessel so that it may assume a horizontal position, substantially as shown and described.
